Labor – Reclassification of position – Duty of fair representation

Where a plaintiff brought suit alleging that the defendant employer and codefendant union violated her rights as an employee pursuant to section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, the defendants were correctly awarded summary judgment, as (1) the employer had discretion under a collective bargaining unit to reclassify a position for which the plaintiff was hired, resulting in her subsequent removal from that position, and (2) the plaintiff is unable to show that the union violated its duty of fair representation in colluding with the employer to reclassify her position and in refusing to take her filed grievance to arbitration.
